It has been a while since the last update on this blog. For a good reason, because the last months we’ve been busy preparing to move house. For the first time in our lives we’re house owners.
We weren’t sad to leave our old house. But to leave the garden behind, in which we spent so many hours transforming it into place of beauty after years of neglect, was a different story.
To keep the costs down, I mainly grew annuals from seeds, so there weren’t too many plants to dig up and bring along at the end of the winter. But still we’ve managed to pot up quite a selection. Hopefully they will form the start of a new beautiful place that we can create together.
We’ve even potted up a small apple and quince tree that we got as presents from our old neighbours a year ago. It was quite a challenge to dig them up. But we managed and found a more or less suitable container. They’ve spent the winter in an industrial plastic “pot” getting waterlogged every now and then. But it shows how resilient plants are: they are budding so fingers crossed that they will survive and bring us some fruit in the future.
